Fees

Our standard consultation fee to see a registered psychologist is $210*.   Clients with a referral and a Mental Health Treatment Plan from their GP receive a Medicare rebate of $98.95 per Counselling Psychology appointment, subject to conditions which are explained below. This amount is rebated after payment, leaving a gap of $110.05 for each consultation.

We ask fee paying clients to prepay for their appointments. An invoice is sent two days before your appointment. While we can accept payment at the clinic, we do not process Medicare rebates on the spot. Medicare rebates are processed overnight.

Clients receiving EMDR therapy may occasionally need longer sessions; these are charged at a pro rata of a standard session, i.e. a double session is charged at twice the standard rate. Your psychologist will discuss this with you before booking any non-standard sessions.

* Payments made with the following card types incur a bank surcharge of 1.3%: Visa, Visa Debit or Prepaid, Mastercard, Mastercard Debit or Prepaid.  You can avoid this surcharge by paying by bank transfer or with an EFTPOS card not connected to Visa or Mastercard.

We do not offer a bulk billing service.

Mental Health Treatment Plans

Medicare rebates are available for up to 10 individual allied mental health services per calendar year to clients who have a Mental Health Treatment Plan provided by a GP or psychiatrist.

Your GP or psychiatrist can refer you for up to six individual allied mental health services at a time, after which your psychologist will write to your doctor and request another block of up to six sessions if required.

What happens at the end of the calendar year?

You do not need to return to your GP at the beginning of a new calendar year if you still have remaining services left on your current referral. These rollover into the next calendar year. However it is strictly 10 services per calendar year, meaning any services you carry forward will count towards the 10 total services for the next calendar year.

Compensable clients

We have limited availability to service compensable clients.  Please contact reception to find out if we can assist you.

No gap payment is required from approved compensable clients, i.e. those being funded by WorkCover, TAC, FAS or another organisation.

We do not see NDIS clients.
